AEW Dynamite 5-3-23 - Baltimore Trios Battle Royal


Will Washington is All Elite - making him one of the few backstage folks to get a graphic. Bandido, OC, Cole and Roderick Strong against the JAS and a new douchey theme. Jericho comes out to do commentary IN THE BEATEN BRITT SHIRT. Ouch! Tremendous bit with Bandido hitting alternating suplexes on the goons back to back when they pull each other to safety only to seal their own fate. Garcia gets the sharpshooter and eats a MASSIVE superkick! Cole lowers the boom to win and then beats the shit out of Jericho.


Jack talks about how he and Darby have been there since day one and it's time to main event a PPV! Britt smacks around Jericho and Danielson says that Bret Hart's ego was too big because HE IS BETTER THAN BRET HART EVER WAS and he hopes Wheeler Yuta is better than he ever was - THEY WANT TO PUSH PEOPLE AND WANT PEOPLE TO BE BETTER THAN THEM! Mox hypes up the cage match - 2019 and 2020 might as well be a decade ago because he's better now than he was then. 


Saraya's out to face the GREATEST WOMEN'S BABYFACE IN AGES WILLOW NIGHTINGALE. Saraya is a great '80s Memphis chickenshit heel and has her goons do her bidding before a sneak attack and ad break. Saraya cheats and wins with the Knightcap/Rampaige. Shida returns and swerves the Outcasts by painting Saraya and caning them all while Britt and Jamie stare the heels down too! House of Black cuts a babyface promo about having an Open House and anyone can face them - but under House Rules. 20 second counts! No rope breaks! DQs are enforced, but the opponents make the rule - the house always wins. 


Tres de Mayo battle royal is up for the HOB's next major foes. Hobbs eats a double superkick from the Lucha Bros and THEN JUST ABSORBS IT AND CHUCKS THEM OUT! Hobbs chucks Vikingo out on them and then he takes down Gunn before the Acclaimed send Hobbs out. Bowens and Gunn DO STEREO FAMEASSERS and win it!


Omega-Mox hype video package with Callis looks at his scar and his possible skull fracture. Wardlow beats a dude and calls out Christian Cage and Luchasaurus. Christian says he doesn't want it here IN BALTIMORE! The title shot isn't for Luchasaurus - it's for him! I like that - Wardlow benefits from a win over a legendary veteran before the big meaty men slapping meat match. We get a billion-star segment with Jarrett's crew going to the farm to help Mark Briscoe and be goofballs for the day until Papa Briscoe warns him that they're all a bunch of jackasses.






Juice vs. Starks is a great all-action battle. Nice easy move to get a big reaction with Starks slowly climbing up the steps on the floor before slamming him off them. Super rana by Juice and a big lariat gets 2! Roshambo ends it! Jay jumps Starks and Juice saves Jay from the Roshambo! WWE has The Fiend Lore, AEW has The Firm Lore - and hype for the Firm Deletion. OC faces Daniel Garcia for the title next week. I would do a switch there with JAS. 




MJF tells Jack that he can do for Jack what he did for Sammy - and you're twice the wrestler he is! All you have to do is betray a man you don't even like! Jack isn't buying it and Darby isn't happy. Heels get a mash-up theme and Darby gives his board to a kid. ROCKET LAUNCHER SWANTON misses for the heels! MJF is a dickhead and Sammy superkicks him!! Coffin drop to Sammy wins it! Good story and one of many on the show.
